Missing woman Nicola Bulley's frustrated partner looked a picture of despair as he visited the river bank in the continuing search for the mum-of-two.
Paul Ansell cast a dejected figure as he stood at the water's edge yesterday, and at one point was witnessed holding his head in his hands.
Mr Ansell, who has been trying to stay strong for Nicola's two young daughters, joined expert dive specialist Paul Faulding at the river in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire.
